|
|
I cant decide between gold wheels or black with polish lip ... I do have a lot of black in my car but gold looks awesome too and stands out more.
I have a few pictures of my car in my profile .......
And should I stay 17s and get a wheel around 16,17 lbs or get some 18's that weigh around 19 lbs |

Niceeee I was hoping you guys were going to say gold!!!!!! I do have panda theme too carbon fiber hood, dark tints, tinted taillights ... but yea gold goes good with panda as well!!!!!
Only thing with 18's is id have to wait a bit to buy them bc I just got all 4 new kumho spts for my 17s ....
If i get 17's I can just mount and balance them on the new wheels ... 17's also 2 lbs lighter per wheel so 8 lbs unsprung weight less ... hmmmm I am going for both show and a little go .... 17's might help both these areas vs 18s which are just for show
but the wheels I want have a lip so .... 17's might look smaller than the stock 17's |

Gold ... FTMFW !!! If you have to wait for the 18's, then just paint the stockies gold for now so you can get an idea of how it looks on your ride.
I painted mine and I decided to stick with the painted stockies and save the money. |

I'm probably going to buy the gold subzero's ... yea i know they are rotas .... but you really cant beat the price I can get 18 x 7.5 for 600 shipped ... throw some 235's on there!!!!!
I'm trying to save for an apartment so The most I can really afford is 500 or 600. |

oh Shi*^^^
That was a good line!
Haha, I'm debating the same thing, gold or black.
Riding black with "lip" painted stockies right now and can't decide either, might have to go gold.
What about flik artics gold with a black lip? |
